More people have more access to more readers for less money than ever before in history. it means a lot of dross; but it means a lot of very talented people can find and nurture a readership in ways that were not possible twenty years ago. from a creative perspective, that is all that writing is about.

Way Should Equipment
To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?
Money Night Crowds
When i get about five readers i can rub together in one genre, i leave that genre and go somewhere else. and this is due to a vow that i made myself when i started writing - that if i had any success at all, i would not be bound to one form of writing. that i would write what moves me. the only way i can see me surviving and doing more than one book is to present the readers with a dan simmons novel, with whatever tropes and protocols from whatever genre i want to borrow them. if that builds a dan simmons readership, well then, okay. otherwise, forget about it. i'd rather drive a truck.
Moving Book Writing
What is missing in a lot of urban music is perspective. you hear a lot of regurgitated perspective. it's a lot of: out at the club. had drinks. patrón. big booties. it's this regurgitated idea of living in this, i don't know, one-night-stand moment that always starts at the club and patrón. and so perspective, perspective, perspective is what i'm an advocate of.

I am a buyer of blank books. kids find it interesting that i would buy a blank book. they say, twenty-six dollars for a blank book! why would you pay that? the reason i pay twenty-six dollars is to challenge myself to find something worth twenty-six dollars to put in there. all my journals are private, but if you ever got hold of one of them, you wouldn't have to look very far to discover it is worth more than twenty-six dollars
Motivational Book Kids
I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.

In russia there is an emigration of intelligence: émigrés cross the frontier in order to read and to write good books. but in doing so they contribute to making their fatherland, abandoned by spirit, into the gaping jaws of asia that would like to swallow our little europe.
